Missing It

I miss a kind of food…

I miss how it makes me feel happy…

I miss its scent, the flavor, and the after taste…

 

I hope I can savor it again…

I hope I can put all my feelings into it…

I hope it comes to me…

 

But, it did not stay…

It came and it was vanished….

Though I had the chance to nibble on it,

It did not truly fulfill my need…

 

I was thinking,

what if it was the one…?

What if it desired me…?

I would never know…

Because once I saw it,

I ate it all up…

I took it and now it’s gone…

 

I wish I did not finish it up…

It will be a long time before I will taste the goodness again…

Or maybe not…

 

Hmmm, how I miss Filipino food….

I miss my UP life…

I miss my UP life…

I miss the Sundays that I can walk around the campus without the usual noise of jeepneys and other students…

I miss my roommates: Arlenne, Chinky and Tin…

I miss my UP friends and orgmates…

I miss the UP food that is genuinely luscious…

I miss UP Ikot and other jeepneys which would take me to the superficial mall, SM North or to Katips near the “other” school…J

I miss rallies and exchange of ideas between students that usually brings debates and discussions…

I miss the late night food galore in Sampa…

I miss the “affordable” concerts which impressive bands play…

I miss movie marathons…

I miss playing basketball with fellow dormers…

I miss dorm activities such as open house, pageants, dance and singing competitions…

I miss UP Fair that gives me satisfaction in taking a break after rigid midterms…

I miss the parade of male genitalias every December…J

I miss my professors who are kind enough to give me 1’s…

I miss the never ending talk about stuff (mainly love life) with Arlenne or Tere …

I miss every inch of UP, the air, the people, and the space it is taking in this whole, wide world…

Haaayyy… Someday, I will see my UP again… Someday…

just me…

Posted on November 10, 2007 by minviecipriano.

Physically, I’m 5’4” in height and 100lb in weight (that was before I had my baby). I have fair skin, black eyes and long black hair. I do simple fashion, pants and blouse or just a shirt for my everyday get up. I do like some weird logos like a tattoo somewhere in my body but basically I’m just me…

Emotionally, I guess I’m more matured. I had an appalling experience with somebody that made me think life is not optimistic. I gained a lot and I guess I lost some. I’m more stable and reliable now. I am satisfied with what I have and I do not ask for more. If God bestows me some, then I am thankful. But if He does not give me what I desire, I am humbled. I am patient; I know God has been forgiving with me. I do various deeds that other people does not accept. But as long as it makes me and the persons I love be contented, then I am fulfilled.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, I dearly love my little bundle of joy, Aihzel. I adore my partner and husband, Mart. I idolize my family. And I love my friends. They support, aid, encourage and assist me when I am losing. They were a big part of what I am today. I am not boastful but I am truly blessed having them in my life.

That is all me, Minvie Bing Ocfemia Cipriano…. A mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a teacher…

the philippines i miss…

haaay…
nakamis din pala ang Pilipinas, nung andun ako, reklamo ako ng reklamo na ang init-init tapos ang mahal-mahal ng bilihin pati pamasahe…pero ng umalis ako ay nakakamis din pala ang init (lalo na ngayon na super lamig naman ng pinuntahan ko)

pero sa totoo lng ang namimis ko sa Pilipinas ay yung dating Pinas nung bata pa ako.. o baka dahil sa bata pa ako kaya di ko alam ang totoong kalagayan ng Pinas..

nakakmis noon na ang dolyar ay 25 pesos pa lang kumpara ngayon na 51pesos na.

dati pag may piso ka masaya ka na at makakabili ka na ng pagkain na nakakbusog pero ngayon ang piso ay kulang pa pampamasahe. nakakamis talaga.

nakakmis yung paglalaro ko sa kalsada kasama ang mga kapitbahay ko na super kukulit at masasaya. pero ngayon di ka na makapaglaro sa kalsadang sementado na at masakit higaan.

namimis ko ang mga kalaro ko na kahit anong laro ay geym sila,madapa man o magkasugat. parang ngayon nawala na sila,may kanya-kanyang pamilya na at mukhang nagkakalimutan na.

namimis ko ang mga kalokohan namin kagaya ng pagpunta sa ilog at pagtampisaw sa malinaw na tubig subalit ngayon ang tanging nakikipaglaro na lang sa tubig ay mga dumi ng tao.

namimis ko ang programa namin tuwing disyembre, sayawan at kantahan, pero wala na ngayon dahil wala ng pera na ipangsasabog para sa mga batang nagaabang para makakuha ng pambili ng kendi.

pati ang palaro ng lola at mga ate para sa mga bata na tuwang tuwa para sa premyo..

ngayon, ang Pinas ay iba na.. madami na ang nangyayari na di man lang natin namamalayan. lalo na ang mga kalamidad na nagtutubos ng mga buhay ng mga Pilipino..

siguro madami na din tayong nagawa sa Pilipinas na di nagustuhan ng gumawa nito.

kelan kaya babalik ang mga panahong ganoon..sana pagbalik ko at ng pamilya ko, ganun ang maabutan namin dahil gusto kong maranasan ng mga anak ko ang saya at sarap ng buhay sa Pinas na pinagkalakihan ko…sana…

nakakmis talaga…
